Thanksgiving for us Kassels means lots of top-to-bottom house cleaning, baking, and food prep. The kids helped me make two pies, apple and pumpkin, along with chocolate chip muffins, zucchini bread, and cranberry sauce.

Andy got the turkey in the brine. The new brine bucket has been useful this week. He’s already used it twice! Maybe, I should stop giving him a hard time about it.

I prepped the Overnight Eggs Benedict Casserole.

And, the “teenager/kid cave” is ready in the basement.

Thirteen people under our roof for the next three nights means a lot of craziness, laughs, and fun.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
